  35. YEAR-END • SERVICE CALCULATION (cont.) • If employee had worked all year at 45 hours, the maximum would have been 45 hours x 52 weeks = 2,340 To calculate service take hours worked plus vacation hours and divide by 2,340

  36. YEAR-END • SERVICE CALCULATION (cont.) • 421.2 / 2,340 = .1800 • Report Service as .1800
